Notes

Studio recording, 2022-2023 (72 Seasons album sessions). No direct source confirms exact guitar/amp for 'Screaming Suicide' riff, but this is the established Metallica rhythm setup for this era and album.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight alternate picking and aggressive palm muting typical of modern Metallica, demanding precision and stamina but not extreme technicality.
